Norwood in 1842
Norwood is south from Dulwich: it has a number of scattered villa residences; a mineral spring, the Beulah Spa, in a pleasure-ground delightfully laid out ; two episcopal churches, one of Grecian, the other of Gothic architecture; and a large public cemetery, with episcopal and dissenting chapels for performing the burial service. Norwood is partly in Lambeth, partly in Croydon parish. |
